Psychoanalytic Counselling in Bristol

My name is Craig Davies and I am a fully qualified and experienced Psychotherapist available for short and longer-term treatment. I hold full UKCP registration. If you are experiencing emotional difficulties, problems in relationships or patterns in your life that you want to change, psychotherapy can be an effective way of addressing these issues from within. I offer a comfortable and confidential space in which to explore your feelings. I work in accordance with the code of ethics of UKCP.

You might be experiencing distressing experiences which attract various diagnoses/ labels, but I wouldn’t say you’re ‘disordered’. I'm more interested in understanding how these symptoms communicate what's happened to you and how you think psychotherapy can help you progress and create a meaningful life for yourself. After all, we wouldn't blame a flower for not growing, we would look at whether the environment was nurturing. My perspective is informed by how our environment/culture/family affects us, using contemporary ideas from the 'power threat meaning' framework, the 'mad in the UK/USA' movements, and a 'disorder for everyone'.

I offer online and some face to face consultations to individuals, couples and families for communication difficulties associated with relationships and life-changes, when the usual ways of coping and support are insufficient or when the challenges involved are too much in some way. With over 30 years professional experience as a systemic practitioner, I have worked with people from a range of cultures and backgrounds in the independent, voluntary, private and public sectors. Single consultations, short-term and longer work are all available.

I believe in the power of opening up, and while I will draw on theory and knowledge to support each individual client, I am led by the client and their individual needs. An ideal client is someone who wishes to build a therapeutic space alongside me, allowing me to facilitate safety and build trust. I am interested in helping others to develop personal growth and insight through the relational dynamics they experience.

I offer a safe space in which you can speak and be listened to without judgement or expectation. As a psychoanalytically informed counsellor, I encourage you to speak about whatever comes to mind and to follow your thoughts wherever they lead. You may have a diagnosis or have your own terms for how you are suffering - we can start there. What we may find is that issues of identity and subjectivity follow - how you see yourself in relation to those around you now or in the past and possibly, in the future....

Life is not always a smooth ride, is it? Sometimes it feels like we’re on a rollercoaster we never signed up for. I’m talking about the days when everything feels overwhelming, confusing, and messy. Maybe it’s the weight of past painful experiences, the stress of current relationships, or the never-ending battle with anxiety and depression. Many of us grew up being told to “push through” and “be strong”, but what if there’s another way… a kinder and more productive way to navigate these challenges. Well, no matter how big or small your challenges are, there’s space for you here.

Therapy offers an important step in discovering the world around us and finding our place in it. For some people, coming to therapy is a big step. It can take courage to identify a need to heal, recover or progress. My approach aims to ensure that you feel safe in the knowledge that you can trust the therapeutic process. Maintaining the core values of empathy, unconditional positive regard for you as well as congruence (being authentic), I also use other modes of therapy.
